[cool][#0000ff]I'm witchoo on the pig rainbow thing. I made that point last night that there are lots of Berry fans who dearly love to play with the cutties, but secretly lust after a big bow or two. The bows fight harder and are put in there solely to satisfy the lust for fish flesh. So, if you do hang one, you don't have to do pennance if you take it home.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I also brought up the "hey now" issue of planting vs predation. DWR plants their 3 million salmonids, but there is natural reproduction both from cutts and kokes that adds to the edible salmonid base. There is no way to tell how many of each makes up the 1.3 million that contribute to the food chain. There is reason to be optimistic that enough are surviving to keep a healthy population, even with cannibalism.[/#0000ff]
